Mount Ōmuro

Hmm, that all sounds very familiar, doesn't it? So the Mount Wakakusa Festival is sort of a really cool, horn is blown, there's massive fireworks, and then they light the fires.

There's another one in the Shizu- Shizuoka, Sh- oh, sorry, Shizuoka prefecture at Mount Omuro, where that occurs in late winter and the entire dormant volcano is set ablaze in a breathtaking 15-minute burn ushering in the spring season.

So again, this is winter burns.

For their, for their ecosystem, it looks like winter burns are the best, safest And it's also served as a ritual to calm the spirits of ancient burial mounds on the mountain's peak.
